I’ve got a bit of a hard on for him tbh and think he’s a very good player.

I knew that someday I was going to die, and I knew that before I died, two things would happen to me. That number one; I would regret my entire life, and number two; that I would want to live my life over again.

Think we could get him, he very nearly went West Ham in jan for instance.

Won’t solve anything but a good swap for schneiderlin I think.

I’ve had a boner for him for a few years but he is quite ponderous across the ground, and is unlikely to rack up many assists, think he got one goal and one assist in the Portuguese league in a much better side than us of course.

Compared to schneiderlin he attempts and completes more key passes so will hopefully be more involved in goals, but we would still need the ever benega type to come in and start really pulling strings behind the front 3.

Don’t see it myself. We have a defensive screen in Gana who covers lots of ground so next to him needs to be someone who can either travel 40 yards with the ball or who has the ability to make the ball travel intelligently upfield quickly to help the transition. Another defensive player albeit younger than Schneiderlin isn’t really what we need.

Sporting missed the boat on selling this lad. Could of got big money when the hype was high, it's dwindling now and he's clearly been overrated. Slow, turning circle of an aircraft carrier, mediocre passing and doesn't really do much else.

Doesn’t sound bad. Carvalho deep pivot, Gueye harries and tackles and moves up the pitch a bit, yer new man sprays and plays.

Ideally i want a player that would do the job of both Gueye and Schneiderlin. Rather than having 2 defensive players in our midfield.

I get its not bad to have options and it would be something we could turn to in the harder away games, but the best sides literally have one player to do that job, not two.Having two instantly puts you on the backfoot in matches i think.

Fair play, not sure he exists and if he does it means we’re binning Gueye which would be a bitter pill to swallow however.

He’s a decent keeper. 29. Probably too good to be a backup to Pickford. Doubt we’d be in for him.

Agreed on Carvalho. I think he was hyped a few years ago, and has plateaued. Don’t think we need a slow CM with the turning circle or an aircraft carrier, but if he’s free and we can replace Morgs with a younger version then I’d be happy.
